Wave motion & Resonance

Wave motion & Resonance

Wave can be described as a disturbance that travels through a medium, transporting energy from one location (its source) to another location without transporting matter. There are two basic types of wave motion for mechanical waves: longitudinal waves and transverse...

Pendulums & SHM

Pendulums & SHM

The motion of a simple pendulum is very close to Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM). SHM results whenever a restoring force is proportional to the displacement, a relationship often known as Hooke's Law when applied to springs. Where F is the restoring force, k is the...

Newton’s cradle

Newton’s cradle

Newton's cradle is a device that demonstrates conservation of momentum and energy using a series of swinging spheres. When one sphere at the end is lifted and released, it strikes the stationary spheres, transmitting a force through the stationary spheres that pushes...
